jody pretty well sums it up. the youth of america tend to be idealistic and somewhat naive. they like cheerleaders, but like most cheerleaders obama lacks substance. obama’s honeymoon is pretty well over and people are seeing what he is really about (even democrats and moderates of his party). lots and lots of rhetoric, hot air, and empty promises. the world got a shot in the arm last week concerning his empty promises concerning the environment in copenhagen. i’m not opposed to healthcare reform, but want it to be carefully thought out, and definately not what the pelosi et al have put together. not something that has been rushed through only to be shoved down our throats. health care as the govt. pitches it is an entitlement. if we don’t have insurance they will fine us and / or throw us into jail. i don’t want you to pay my way, and i don’t want to pay your way. if you need healthcare get a frigging job and pay for it. I HAVE. we as americans have stood by and given up one civil liberty after another. THE GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE … NOT RULE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. if our founding fathers could see the welfare state america is turning into i think they would not have bothered giving their lives for the freedoms we enjoy that we continually give back with every election of corrupt individuals.

Barack Obama is a rare combination of inner strength, intelligence and morality.

I echo that this is sad indeed. He is black, he is young, he is charismatic so that’s what young people focused on?? So far, he has spent trillions putting us further into debt; he has undermined the military and hamstrung the CIA who seek to protect the country; he is seeking to control banks and therefore the financial systems; he is funneling money into ACORN whose voter fraud and underhanded methods are criminal; He will do nothing to thwart the influx of illegal immigrants because they represent a powerful voting block to further seal his rule. His new buddy appointed as FCC chairman will seek (and most likely succeed) in squelching the opposition voice–and if these idealistic, slobbering youth who think he is so wonderful have learned anything about America it is that the nation was founded on certain liberties including Freedom of Speech. He will seek to tax and control the internet and effectively squelch any opposition voice there as well. He will place further restrictive fines and regulations on industry (already most of America’s production have gone overseas due to failed liberal policies, punitive fines and regulations and the liberal Unions) resulting in higher sales taxes and industries seeking more profitable production overseas. He will place further fines and regulations on AGRICULTURE (where do we get our food??) forcing farmers and ranchers out of business and lessening the amount of food produced in our own country. Futher, if control is not equalized between the Democrat and Republican parties in Congress, he will gain further controls over every aspect of American life and further erode the fabric of the nation, he will appoint radical liberal activist judges who will twist the Constitution to suit their agenda and if people do not WAKE UP, he will waltz into another term and may then change the Constitution to allow for a third term or lifetime appointment. Read your history to find out what has happened to nations in which this scenario played out. This country was founded on principles of individual liberty, responsibility and freedom free from a dictatorial king or single leader. We are quickly headed toward undoing every tenet upon which this nation was formed and destroying America as the powerful, shining symbol of liberty in the world. Wake up before it is too late.

We can’t fault young people for falling for the so called promised changes, because young people haven’t lived long enough to know that the world ain’t going to change by a mere human becuse if it hadn’t been done for centuries, it wont be done now. We cant fault young people for identifying with a younger than normal president, even though Obama is old enough to be some of the younger one’s their grandfather, but still younger than most presidents. We cant fault them for looking for leaders on the Internet, even though real life relationships with real character references ( whom he never gave us any while running for president , other than washed up domestic terrorists, and racist pastors, and convicted felons) never will replace virtual words that can say just about anything about anybody without any proof. However, Obama is good looking? OK, how is it that Obama is good looking, does any body really believe this report is correct, when Obama with a goofy hair cut, and big ears and a slim Jim body, who could pass for the cover of Mad magazine as Alfred Newman? Either all the young makes are gay who thinks Obama is good looking and the females who may not be gay, are looking for a grandpa goofy looking sugar daddy, or else this report is complete bogus!

Ok I agree with this article.

I do not support Obama at all and I am very young myself. He is a good speaker and spits back what people want to hear. Not to say, that the media is on his side. People see “how he says it” and not “what he says”. Foe example he said that he wants to stop wastful spending on the military but then he says he wants to stimulate the ecomny by spending millions of dollars on a program that found a new MOUSE. To me that is wacked up and puts us into trillions of dollar in debt when we are already in millions.

I believe Obama relates to the young people today, as many have said, first of all he is ‘young’ himself. At least for being the President of the United States. When he speaks he wants you (everyone) to know just exactly what he is talking about. He doesn’t read from a script someone else has written, and seems to have a heart to want to do good for young and old Americas today!

McCain is a peace of crap

I am A white kid from Idaho, and voted for Obama because I believe he can use his charisma and diverse background as tools in reshaping our nation, as one. He puts so much soul into my heart, not for what he is gonna do, but what he has done already. Watching thousands of African-Americans in tears of joy the night of the election was inspiring, and it makes me feel good inside to be supportive of him. He simply brings out the good in people, and maybe is the key to closing the chapter of segregation in America, politics, and the potentially, the world. If we can’t believe in the good things he speaks about, than how are we to ever be good people? For me, America is not about taxes or self-protection, but living amongst an era that truly uprises from hate. Much love, everybody; thanks for listening to my view. :)

Correct. Only you left one reason out. The “lame-ass” kids at my highschool, and other local highschoolers I know support McCain. The “tight-ass” kids support Obama, cuz he’s black, young, and good-lookin’. Some don’t even know the risks of an inexperienced president who wants a change in America. NOW WHAT KINDA CHANGE WILL IT BE?! ..We will soon find out.
